In Part 1 of this
two-part series on Apache™ Hadoop®, we introduced the Hadoop
ecosystem and the Hadoop framework. In Part 2, we cover more core components
of the Hadoop framework, including those for querying, external integration,
data exchange, coordination, and management. We also introduce a module that
monitors Hadoop clusters.

Apache™ Hadoop® is an open source, Java-based framework that's
designed to process huge amounts of data in a distributed computing
environment. Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella developed Hadoop, which was
released in 2005.

Built on commodity hardware, Hadoop works on the basic assumption that
hardware failures are common. The Hadoop framework addresses these failures.

In Part 1 of this two-part blog series, we'll cover big data, the Hadoop
ecosystem, and some key components of the Hadoop framework.
